watching me over my shoulder, thru the window if I'm outside. I cook and clean and basically holw up in the basement. I don't know how to cope with this. I go for long walks all the time but the little time I get 'alone' doesn't seem to be enough. I feel like I'm losing it. My husband travels for work and is gone all week long, I don't want to burden him with this(I have been in horrible moods when he comes home for the weekend and it seems to be going that way again.) I don't know what to do. Any suggestions?

sit down and talk with her first explain how you feel if that doesn't work talk to your husband and maybe he can mediate if you are being grouchy with him on the weekends after not seeing each other all week that is not healthy for your marriage. Maybe your mom in law is just lonely reach out to her and maybe you can both enjoy each others company for a little time each day

You need to find your own time. The long walks should help a lot. Evidently she's lonely. Is it possible to invite someone over to befriend her? Stay with your long walks, and think of how else you may enjoy your solitude. You say, you dont want to burden your husband. But in fact you are by your bad moods when he returns. So it would probably be helpful to let him know how you feel. That alone should help you. And he may be able to offer a solution.

Just dont let her bother you to much... just about every mother in law is like that. Mines is the same way. The best thing to do is just ignore her and keep going on with your day. Now try to have lil conversations with her, especially about your husband, talk about when he was little, they always love that. Just keep it little simple talk that way this biulds up yalls relationship, but you dont get to deep on a topic to where yall start argueing or getting on each others nerves. Just dont let what she says or does get to you too much, because they are always going to disapprove of something.

Maybe you should try to warm up to her some. If you are nice to her and she likes you, she will be receptive to you telling her that you feel like you need more time alone.
If that is not a good enough solution...think on this, she likely wont be around much longer.
